"In the Song of Songs the son of David, King in Jerusalem, overcomes hostility and alienation to renew intimacy between himself and his Bride. This most sublime Song sings of a love sure as the seal of Yahweh, a flashing flame of fire many waters could never quench. The noble King in the Song points us to the one who so loved his Bride that not even death could keep him from her, and the Song's setting--a lush garden and the city of Zion rejoicing at the wedding of her King--hints at the way that day will see the curse on the ground rolled back for the renewal of edenic life in the presence of the Lord."--Back cover
